TOY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 3, 1909.

Application filed March 5, isoa- Serial No. 481,330.

My invention relates to an improvement in toys primarily of that type known as locomotive toys.

The object of my invention is to provide a toy preferably representing a racer auto1 mobile in which the body is struck up from a single blank.

The features of my invention are more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawing-forming a part of this invention, in which? Figure l, is a side elevation of my improved toy representing a racer automobile. Fig. 2, a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3, is a plan view of the blank.

In toys of this class, made of sheet metal, it is desirable to form the complete toy with as small a number of parts as possible. In the toy disclosed in the drawings but two pieces of metal are employed to form the entire body of the toy, and as constructed form a very neat and durable toy.

1 represents the forward or engine hood of my improved toy, which is provided at the forward end and upon each side with the slits 2 (see Fig. 3) adapted to form, when the blank is bent into shape, the front wheel guards 3. The rear portion of the blank is provided with slits .4, enabling the rear wheel guards 5 to be formed from the blank with the intermediate portion 6 adapted to form a step. The intermediate portion 1 of the blank is arched with the sides 7 bent along the dotted line a, to a vertical positio'nb 8 represent right angle slits separating the metal and adapted to form the seat backs 9 and the horizontal base 10 when the blank serving as a sup ort for the rear wheel axles which project t rough the orifices 14. The seat backs 9 are provided with cars 16, which project from the, base edge of the seat backs when bent into shape as illustrated in Fig. 2, projecting through relative slots formed in the seats for securely maintaining the same in position.

17 represents orifices formed in the forward portion of the blank through which the forward axle projects.

Having described my invention, I claim 1. A blank for making an automobile toy consisting of a substantially rectangular sheet of metal formed with an intermediate portion cut out at one end, and with slits through the end of the sheet upon eachside of said cut-out portion to form conventional automobile elements when bent into form, substantially as described.

2. An automobile toy having the sides, engine-hood, rear body, seat backs; steps and wheel guards formed from a single piece of metal, substantially as described.

3. A blank for making an automobile toy,

having its rear intermediate portion cut to separate the blank and slitted to form the side walls, seat backs, and rear body top,

with the forward portion of the blank, when bent, adapted to form the engine hood and sides.

4:. A blank for making an automobile toy, having its rear intermediate portion cut to separate the blank and slitted, adapted to form the side walls, seat backs and rear body, with the forward ortion of the blank, when bent, adapted to orm the engine hood and sides, said blank having slits-parallel with two edges of the blank separating the metal to form wheel guards and an intermediate step when the edges are bent at right angles to the sides.

5. A blank for making an automobile toy, l

adapted to form the top and sides of a single piece of metal, said blank having slits parallel with two edges of the" blank, separating .the metal to form wheel guards and an intermediate step' when the edges are bent at right angles to the sides.

6. A blank for making an'automobile toy, having its medial portion provided with a divisional cut'adapted when the whole is bent into shape to separate the forward top portion of the toy from the rear.

7. A blank for making a toy-in which'the to and sides are formed from a single piece 0 metal with the medial portion provided with a divisional cut adapted when the whole is bent into shape to separate the top into I to form wheel guards when bent at right an- 10 sections with continuous sides. gles to the sides.

S. A blank for making a toy in which the In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set tofp and lsideslarela formed 1from a single pidece my hand.
